If \(\alpha, \beta\) are non-zero integers and \(\mathrm{z}=(\alpha+i \beta)(2+7 i)\) is a purely imaginary number, then minimum value of \(|z|^2\) is

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B \(2809\)
  3. C \(2808\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2809\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z=(\alpha+i \beta)(2+7 i)=(2 \alpha-7 \beta)+(7 \alpha+2 \beta) i\) \(\because Z\) is purely imaginary \(\Rightarrow \operatorname{Re}(Z)=0 \Rightarrow 2 \alpha-7 \beta=0 \Rightarrow 2 \alpha=7 \beta\) also \(|Z|^2=(2 \alpha-7 \beta)^2+(7 \alpha+2 \beta)^2\)…
